This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements regarding INV Metals Inc. (“INV Metals”). Forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the results of the Feasibility Study (the “FS”), gold price and exchange rate assumptions, cash flow forecasts, projected capital and operating costs, metal or mineral recoveries, mine life and production rates; INV Metal's potential plans and operating performance; the estimation of the tonnage, grades and content of deposits, and the extent of the resource and reserves estimates; potential production from and viability of INV Metal's properties; estimates

  • f future production and operating costs; estimates of permitting submissions and timing; the timing and receipt of necessary permits and project approvals for future
  • perations; access to project funding, exploration results, and expected filing of the technical report (the “Technical Report”) that summarizes the FS. These statements

are based on information currently available to INV Metals and INV Metals provides no assurance that actual results will meet management’s expectations. In certain cases, forward-looking statements may be identified by such terms as “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “may”, “shall”, “will”, or “would”. Forward- looking statements contained in this presentation are based on certain factors and assumptions made by management and qualified persons in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors management and the qualified persons believe are appropriate in the circumstances. The forward-looking statements are also based on metal price assumptions, exchange rate assumptions, cash flow forecasts, and other assumptions used in the FS. While INV Metals considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available to it, they may prove to be

  • incorrect. Forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievement
  • f INV Metals to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors

include, among others, risks inherent in the exploration and development of mineral deposits, including risks relating to changes in project parameters as plans continue to be redefined, risks relating to grade or recovery rates, reliance on key personnel, operational risks, regulatory, capitalization and liquidity risks. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, refer to INV Metals’ annual information form (the “AIF”) and other regulatory filings filed with Canadian securities regulators available on SEDAR (including the Technical Report once it is filed on SEDAR). Except as required by law, INV Metals does not assume any obligation to release publicly any revisions to forward-looking statements contained in this presentation to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The scientific and technical information contained in this presentation has been reviewed and approved by Bill Shaver, P.Eng., COO, INV Metals and a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. For readers to fully understand the information in this presentation, they should review the Technical Report in its entirety when it is available on SEDAR, including all of the qualifications, assumptions and exclusions that relate to the information to be set out in the Technical Report, which qualify the technical information contained in the Technical Report. The Technical Report is intended to be read as a whole, and sections should not be reviewed or relied upon out of context. The Technical Report also describes the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimation methodologies and the assumptions used, and to which those estimates are subject. As noted above, the AIF includes details of certain risk factors that could materially affect the potential development of the Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and should be considered carefully. “Adjusted Operating Costs”, “All-in Sustaining Costs”, “All-in Costs” and “Total Operating Costs per Tonne” are non-International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) Performance Measures. These performance measures are included because these statistics are key performance measures that management uses to monitor

  • performance. Management uses these statistics to assess how the Loma Larga Project ranks against its peer projects and to assess the overall effectiveness and

efficiency of the contemplated mining operations. These performance measures do not have a meaning within IFRS and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar data presented by other mining companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS. All references to currencies herein, unless otherwise noted, are to U.S. dollars.

In Ecuador we promote the development of responsible mining with nature, environmentally sustainable, economically profitable and socially just. With the elimination of the windfall tax we want to send a clear message to the mining sector to expand investment options in the country. Richard Martinez, Minister of Finance and Economy May/2018 Lenin Moreno, President of Ecuador Mar/2018 Fernando Benalcazar, Vice- Minister of Mines Oct/2018 Carlos Perez, Minister of Energy and Non-Renewable Resources Oct/2018 Mining has a larger value chain than oil, there are a number of activities that are added to mining and the companies that are in the country are working in a responsible way. We are developing a mining policy needed by the country. Our commitment is to develop a responsible and sustainable mining. We are working in the consolidation of the mining industry in Ecuador with the objective of it being the second item in non-oil exports, with a contribution of 4% of GDP to 2021. Ecuador seeks to attract direct mining investment with top-level companies that respect the current law and apply the best standards in the industry, socially and environmentally responsible.

CHUMBLIN SAN GERARDO

INV Metals supports us in de-worming cattle, pigs, castration of guinea pigs. They provide a quality service and thanks to them our community shows progress. Noemi Zhurzhingo, San Gerardo Thanks to INV Metals and their community programs, I have participated in the guinea pig project, compost-yard projects, also making homemade shampoo and soap projects and nutrition classes. Marujita Torres, Victoria del Portete Thanks to INV Metals I have valued myself as a woman. I value the products that we create which are native to our parish Digna Chillogallo, Chumblin

GIRON

Change is evident, the quality of life of our people has improved thanks to the magnitude

  • f the project Loma Larga

Victor Barreto, President of the Parish of San Gerardo The most important thing for me would be for the company to move to the next phase so that we can have the support and benefits not

  • nly with the works being done but also with

the labour for our people. Miguel Chapa, President of the Parish of Chumblin The exploiting will be underground and not

  • pen pit mining as some national leaders

have said, so this makes it safe for us to say this is responsible mining that will protect our water resources and will bring us benefits in the future. Patricio Novillo, President of the Parish of Victoria INV has given me the experience of working in two senior community groups where we produce crafts by getting support in training and techniques. I thank INV for all their support not only in Giron but everywhere. Cesar Carchi, Giron I am thankful to INV Metals because through their technical and human teams that are very close to the people and have given us a re-activation in human, economic and cultural areas.
